Jackson Galaxy: Stress Stopper (2 oz.) - Pet Solution - Promotes Sense of Safety During Short-Term Stress - Can Keep Pet Calm and Grounded - All-Natural Formula - Reiki Energy

***Update (and I added a star): It's been almost 3 months. There has been hardly any stalking and there have been NO (serious) attacks (that any of us has witnessed) in more than a month. We are VERY pleased with the results. We still separate as before but now, at night, the kittens spend a lot of time on the first floor and are very comfortable. During the day, they remain upstairs. Tortie 1 still visits upstairs but rarely enters the kittens' room. Tortie 2 hasn't gone upstairs in a long time. Hopefully, some day there will be peace throughout but for now, everyone seems quite happy. I add the drops to the older cats' food morning and evening as well as about a dropper-full to their water. I haven't rubbed the solution on any cat's fur for more than a month. I recommend long-term use in order to reap the benefits. I am glad I stuck it out.*** I've been using Bully Solution for about a month and, surprisingly, it's kind of working. I am not quite using it to its full potential, that is, 4x/day, each affected cat. I add 6-8 drops to the cats' water and mix 4 drops into the cats' wet food. I don't know who ultimately ingests what, and the water is never finished, some food usually remains, so not complete dosages. This is our situation, and it's not good: Alpha male (all black; 8 y.o.), 2 girls (Torties; 4 y.o.). 2 new(ish) kittens (tabbies/tigers; 1 y.o.). The alpha male has actually been pretty well behaved. I thought he would be the main threat. Sure, there's the occasional chase or swipe, but generally, he's been a peacekeeper--for the kittens. He's nice to Tortie 1 but less so to Tortie 2. Since the kittens' arrival, he's been a little tougher on Tortie 2. We think Tortie 2, once the cat on the bottom of the Alpha chain, is afraid she will retain that status even with the introduction of the new kittens, so that they will be "elevated" above her. By chasing the kittens, she's trying to stay in 3rd place, as it were. Torties 1 and 2 terrorize the poor kittens (now 14 months old). They stalk and chase them under my bed. We did the whole new-cat-introduction and took our time with it--I don't want to take up time/space with that but if you're interested, we can use the Comment section. In pretty short order, it became apparent that the kittens would remain upstairs and the girls downstairs as possible. At night, the Torties go willingly into the basement (finished basement, cat condo, food, litter, etc.--decent space for cats). The kittens roam the house. Alpha roams freely. During the day, the Torties mostly stay on the first floor (sometimes basement) but occasionally go upstairs with one purpose only. Eventually they get bored and come back downstairs. Here's how the product works for us: Alpha is definitely less aggressive. He never was particularly aggressive, but he's better with Tortie 2. Not perfect--still blocks her way sometimes, much less swiping or chasing. Tortie 1 is terrorizing less--but still doing it. I try to apply Bully Solution to her neck and back but with her short fur, she can feel it quickly and doesn't like it at all. Tortie 2 is terrorizing MUCH LESS, but still doing it. For her, I try to rub some Bully Solution on her at least 1x/day. She can feel it on her short hair after the first few pats and walks away. She returns pretty quickly. She doesn't like the feel either, but would rather have the petting. The other issue, though, is Tortie 2's urinating--almost anywhere but the box. This has been extremely difficult for her and for us. We've been to the vet several times with various remedies including traditional and homeopathic. Basically, cats, when stressed, can suffer from bladder distress, where their bladder becomes irritated. This can sometimes result in some blood in the urine. This is what is going on with Tortie 2. No infection, nothing else. And currently, no blood. Still working on this problem, but in the meantime, Bully Solution is helping with the aggression. NOTE: Torties are territorial. I never knew this until one (and only one) vet informed us. It would have been great to know this a long time ago

From the day we brought them home together from the shelter to about 1 year together our Houdini(male) and Jaxsi (female) were true lovebirds. Then Houdini woke one morning “morphed”. He had morphed into a bully! Our poor little Jaxsi girl… He was constantly grabbing her by the neck, pouncing on her and holding her down. He is fixed and THREE times her size. She became not only instantly afraid of him, but she began to hide in fear. He was an absolute B-U-L-L-Y! He would not let her sleep, not let her eat, or get ANY lovin’ from us. He was so jealous it was “me, me, me!”He had become her worst nightmare. I decided that I had faith in his methods and would try his products. I bought the Bully solution. UNBELIEVABLE! Honestly, my family and I were instantly pleased. I’ve no idea why, but Houdini feels that he MUST be in attendance when you go into the bathroom. Explain that! But somehow, he gets in!!! I decided to use it as my opportunity. I sprayed 5 squirts of the product into my hands and proceeded to rub Houdini from head to toe repeating “that’s my Houdini, feels good getting a full body massage huh?” I massaged the product in good all over his neck and body (avoiding his eye area). Wow! To say there was a change is an understatement. Honest! Now, we use it whenever he starts his “bully dance” (which has stopped being a daily occurrence) but we notice him starting. Jaxsi has noticed the difference too! She has come out of hiding. She not only gets to eat now, but they are actually eating side-by-side! Quite often they come up missing and we find them together sound asleep up against each other in their favorite tranquil place… the bathtub! Lol. Our “bully” has pretty much left the building! It’s not a permanent cure, but it helps to eliminate his inner bully (if even only for a few hours) and he’s his lover-boy self again. It truly warms our hearts seeing them together and not hearing the hissing and watching the fighting going on. It is really is easy to use. We just rub it in. We opted for rubbing the product on him because he’s too smart. He KNOWS when you put it in his water or try to give it to him any other way. But hey, who can resist a good body massage? Not my Houdini! Jaxsi says “thank you” for making this product because she is happier and loves getting her morning kiss and nose rub from Houdini much better than having to bust out her exquisite boxing skills and remind him she’s little but mighty! (Funny, that was HIS name in the shelter). In all seriousness, we’ve tried other products for other issues like calming, etc. with other manufacturers products we’ve had no success. But WE ARE VERY PLEASED with this product. My only problem now is that I need to see if he makes a solution for flying. Yes…. I said “flying” as our bully now believes he can “fly” and that’s not going well. Oh well! Wish me luck!

As an intro - we have had cats for decades - all rescues at various ages. But this most recent addition to our family (a 12 year old) became a challenge. Followed J. Galaxy's instructions for how to introduce a new cat to a resident cat (who is 17 and lived with another cat her entire life, which cat passed away at age 19 a couple months ago)- the whole thing - separate rooms, gradual opening doors, eating on other side of doors, exchange blankets with scents, etc etc etc. Even throw in a animal communicator session or two. Over the course of 6 weeks, nothing was working. The two hated each other, although thankfully they were not attacking each other - just walk-by paw swats, hissing and growling. So, I purchased 'Peacemaker' to add to the whole process of intros. Peacemaker didn't do a thing - didn't change a thing. Everything was like it was prior to my spending money on the Peacemaker. In case anyone was wondering, it is now 4 months later. We didn't give up and kept going back to square one (without using more bottles of Peacemaker) - separate rooms; then placing one in the other's room to mix scents; allowing the new one to roam and explore the house uninterrupted; feeding in the same room but opposite sides of room then gradually, oh so gradually, bringing the bowls closer together; so forth and so on. We are now at the point where the two can co-exist. They can eat 2 feet apart, sit 3 feet apart. Occasional hisses. They will never be good buddies who groom each other and sleep together - but we are hoping this will change with time - maybe in another year!

Got this for my incontinent cat, she was young and used the box. I have several boxes and tried several litters. She ate and drank. I have 2 water fountains. Plenty of space. I took her to the vet and we decided to put her to sleep. She was having bowl movements on me and my bedding, the floors. I feel awful because I just couldn't afford to go through tests. I changed her food as well. Other than that his products have worked. I like bully solution

It really does seem to work, at least for my cats. I bought this when I was introducing a third cat to my two resident cats after weeks of keeping them separated and gradually introducing them. I found it easiest to rub them all down with it when it seemed they were getting a bit hostile or agressive toward the new cat, or when the new cat was getting a bit too agressive toward them, and it seemed to work for about 4 hours. It just seemed to chill them out a bit, which I appreciated! Even they seemed to enjoy being less "wigged out". It has been a relatively peaceful introduction and they are adjusting, but one of my resident cats, who is a big fraidy cat anyway avoids the new cat most of the time. This solution seems like it has been helpful. I wish the effects could last longer though. I guess I could put some in their food, but I can't seem to bring myself to do that. Easy to use, a bit pricey, and I didn't notice any particular smell and neither did the cats.

I had my doubts when I purchased this as to whether it could actually work, but this product is exceptional. I have three cats, two of them deaf, and three dogs. I bought this for the oldest cat, who is 7 years old and deaf. I think he might possibly have a form of kitty Down's Syndrome or some other type of mental disability or neurological damage because he's always had trouble remembering where his food and water are. He also does weird things like sleep with his neck completely tucked under his body and his feet on top of his head so he looks like his neck is broken. He also tips over and falls off of things when he sleeps. When we first got him he took to my dog, the only other pet we had at that time, who is an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. The kitten actually nursed on the dog, who didn't now what was going on but it such a sweetie she let him. We noticed quickly that the cat had a compulsive licking problem. It wasn't as bad at first, but when we got another puppy (strictly for the cat to play with because the big dog lost interest in playing with the cat), the cat got worse. He didn't like the new dog and his licking problem became severe. He moved upstairs where my daughters have sort of a suite, two bedrooms and their own bathroom, and never came downstairs again. He would sleep on this little half wall partition at the top of the stairs and would lick himself so much he started going bald in several areas. We changed his food and it got a little bit better but was not cured. I got these drops and bought a spray bottle and my daughter sprayed them on the partition where he slept. I also sprayed him with a few drops. Later that day he moved back downstairs and has lived downstairs ever since. He has stopped most of the licking and his fur is growing back. I still think he has neurological damage or some other disability because he still falls off the counter or wherever he is sleeping, and he is like a bull in a china shop as far as coordination goes (common among deaf cats apparently because they suffer from poor balance). Since we got the drops, he is a totally different, calmer cat.

My 8 yr. old male cat has had extremely bad asthma for about 5 years. At first I tried changing his cat litter, then his food. I tried every brand of cat food on the open market and every brand of cat litter but his asthma continued. I put him on the raw food diet but he still had asthma attacks daily. I bought an air purifier and humidifier but nothing helped him. On one his worst days he had 13 asthma attacks. I finally took my cat to the vet and he put him on steroid pills and the inhaler. Still that did not control his asthma attacks. Finally the vet put him on steroid injections. Finally - the asthma attacks stopped but he started gaining weight and getting aggressive toward the other cat. I wanted to get him off the steroids because then he would continue to gain weight and then he would become a diabetic. I thought to myself - he already has the worst asthma I have ever seen in a cat and now he's going to become obese and diabetic. I was so desperate to find something natural to help him with his asthma. I read somewhere that coconut oil could help - tried it - didn't work. I bought "Bronchial Wellness" sold by Only Natural Pet store and tried that. He still had 1-3 asthma attacks daily. I thought worse comes to worse I might try acupuncture - but I hesitated because I'm retired and I'm on fixed income and also I would have to continue going to the vet for his acupuncture treatments for the rest his life. One day I was on the computer (again) in my constant quest to find something natural to help my poor cat with his asthma. I was on Amazon and came across Easy-Breather and was reading the reviews. Completely desperate to try anything I bought Easy-Breather - even though is cost me $30 for a 2 oz. bottle. I received the package around 8:30 pm and immediately opened the box and put 5 drops with water in a syringe and gave it to him. He had no more asthma attacks that night. I gave him 5 more drops the next morning and no asthma. This product so far has been a MIRACLE CURE so far. I'm praying and keeping my fingers crossed that this is the miracle that my cat has been waiting for. I will update my review next month to let you know how my cats asthma is doing and if this remedy continues to stop his asthma attacks. My cat and myself are forever grateful !!!!!!!!

The Short: I'm giving this product two stars only because I know that some people really do feel that this helps their pets and I want to respect their opinions. BUT this comes with a huge caveat for anybody like me who is looking for a real product that contains real herbal ingredients that can help their pet in a physical way, not a homeopathic energy healing spirit cure... THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS NO REAL INGREDIENTS BESIDES WATER AND ALCOHOL. And since it contains alcohol it's not returnable because it's flammable... So buyer/skeptics beware. The Long: The posting for this product skirts around it's true nature... It says that it contains flower and herbal essences that can help ease pets who have respiratory issues. When I read the word "essence" I assume it contains distilled oils or other ingredients derived from the actual plants. I'm a true believer in the power of real scientific medicine, as well as the power of herbal medicine, working in tandem with doctors/vets who are trained, so I use both to treat my awesome but asthmatic cat. I bought this under the assumption that it truly contains the ingredients listed. I was wrong. This product comes with a slip that explains it very succinctly, which I have included in my photo: "ABOUT FLOWER ESSENCES: Flower essences are energy medicine. The essences contained in each formula are on the energetic blueprints, or 'essence' of the flower, animal or gem. Please Note: no actual plant, animal, or gem matter is use (sic) in our formulas and therefore, you cannot overdose your pet or animal." So this is basically saying that there are no real herbal remedies in this product... Only so called "essences" that are somehow infused but not actually there??? This is similar to the way gems or homeopathic solutions are marketed... The essence is there but it's not actually... So lets look at the back of the bottle and see the ingredients list: "Natural spring water, Aloe Vera, Chia, Crab Apple, Elm, Noni and other essences, FCS, alcohol (as a preservative)." We now know from our slip that the "essences" are not actually in the product, just their "energy blueprint"... So take those off the back of the label and what do you get: Water, FCS (which the FDC defines as "any substance that is intended for use as a component of materials used in manufacturing, packing, packaging, transporting, or holding food if such use of the substance is not intended to have any technical effect in such food"), and Alcohol. So if you want to give your pet water (ok) and alcohol (not me)... This is the product for you. I know some people truly believe in energy healing and reiki and all that stuff... If you do, you do you, I don't really think you can harm your pet too much giving it this solution. I really hope it helps. I think a lot of people make a lot of changes to their cat's diet and lifestyle when they use these products, and I'm sure the effects are compounded to create the illusion that this is some miracle cure. But if you are looking for a real herbal remedy to give your pet, with real ingredients, in supplement to good veterinary care, you should look elsewhere. Hope this helps you skeptics out there like me, and thanks to Amazon for understanding and helping me get a refund.
